Everything in Sydney competes for your attention: the sight of a yacht race in the wake of a ferry; the sizzle of barbecues at the local park; the bustle of shoppers in one of the many malls, arcades or markets; or the squeal of kids chasing each other into the crashing surf. But wherever you go in this
city, you'll feel the pull of the Sydney's saltwater fringe, from the quiet harbour coves that carve to the west, to the wild and playful ocean beyond the heads.

He also happened to be a fine interior decorator. Cecil Beaton
at Home focuses on two homes dear to Beaton s heart Ashcombe House, near the Wiltshire village of Tollard Royal, and Reddish House, located in Broad Chalke, another village in the same county as well as London's Pelham Place and Beaton s New York hotel suites.
